WILLIAM H. SCHORLING,

OF BROOKLYN NEW YORK, ASSIGNOR TO HENEY- BROOKFIELD, OF ARDSLEY-ON-HUDSON, NEW YORK. DEVICE-FOR SUPPORTING GLA SS INSULATORS OR OTHER GLASS ARTICLES WHILEPLASTIC.

To all'whom it may concern.-

Beit known that I, WILLIAM H. SoHoRLINe,

a citizen of the United States, residing at Brooklyn, in the county of Kings, State of New York, have'invented a certain new and useful Device'for Supporting Glass Insulators or other Glass Articles while Plastic, of Which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to.the accompanying drawing.

. This invention is an improvement for making glass insulatorsor other glass articles.

' The advantage of the device is as follows: In working fast a great many insulators. or other glass articles are taken out of the mold when the g1 When the boy removes the insulator or other glass article from'the mold with his fork,-it

screw-thread of other interior chamber will not" fit the screw or stud-or projection to which the insulator or other glass article may glass article on a pin this is rectified. If the pin is an ordinary fixed pin, there is another difficulty. The glass in the head of the insulator or other glass article is in varying thickness and the insulator or other glass article must of necessity rest on the head, in most cases. The glassbeing soft, it is shoved up into the head, and it is just as bad as if no pins The following is a description of my device to overcome this difficulty. The drawing is an elevation of my machine, shown partly in section.

The pin on the left is shown with a glass insulator set thereon while said article is cooling. At the right the insulator is shown in section.

The reference-letter follows: I

A is a stand or support. B is an insulator or other glass article.

I O is a movable pin.,

Dis a recess or socket with screw-thread. E shows the petticoat or lower part of an insulator or other glass article.

F is the head or upper "part of an insulator or other glass article. f

if the insulator or other glass article weighs sixteen ounces, the weight is so placed as to balance fourteen'ounces or thereabout upon pin 0, whereby the insulator is supported 'in' part at its top and in art at the petticoat. It is obvious that the arther away from the fulcrum H the weight I is moved the more pressure the pin 0 will exert upon the head F ofthe insulator or other glass article and the less will be the weight su ofthe stand. 1 After the g ass has sufficiently cooled the insulator or other glass article is {emoved and taken to the annealing oven or eer.
